Counter 4-4-2?

[Massimiliano]

Whats the best formation to Counter 4-4-2?
And what tactics might be effective?

4-4-1-1 if you are better
5-2N-1-2 if he is better or sometimes if you are equal

Orders depend also on opponent's orders. With 5-2N-1-2 defensive, through the middle, mixed pass, counters, no offside, yes counters, but if he is also using 4-4-2 defensive you must use hard defending.
